So I've come upon the realization that one of the best things about my old blogging was that I only blogged when I actually had interesting things to say or interesting stories to tell. Now that I have forced myself to write every single day, I am already finding myself stumbling into a bit of writer's block.
For instance, I have already written and deleted four potential paragraphs which could have gone right here. But none passed the test. My life is too boring for others to want to read about ("today on my commute I saw a truck pulled over by a state trooper!"), meaning that I suppose I will need to find other things to blog about which are not so related to me.
I suppose you might be wondering about the new hyperlink to get to my blog. Yes, I was told that using my name was "weird" and that I should change that ASAP. Thankfully blogger makes it easy to do so (thanks, Google)! Unfortunately, my first two choices: "fishsandwich" and "wassupwitdat" were both already taken--who could have guessed--so in a stroke of brilliance I decided to make like the Spice Girls and let "2 Become 1."
The above is all assuming that you have even noticed the change in my blog's hyperlink. I admit, this is a bit of a reach on my part, but bear with me because my adventures in name-changing did lead me to something which is actually hilarious.
So, I'm testing out possible hyperlinks to see what is taken. I come up with "fishsandwich"--the origins of which are tricky for me to explain in depth. I'm going to be lazy and just tell you that it's an inside joke, the roots of which stem from a friend's rap song to the beat of "Make It Nasty" combined with the classic Jay-Z/Kanye West song, "N****s in Paris." ANYWAY. I am testing this out, and realize that fishsandwich.blogspot.com is somehow already taken. WTF!!! I, of course, assume that whomever took this blogspot identity must be a genius. So, I go to check out their blog.
And. Well--hmm. You should probably just go check it out yourself: . Apparently, in his free time between helping NFL players into the endzone, God tells this woman to blog about her adventures in Cambodia. Oh, and blog about it she does. What a waste of a perfectly good blogspot name.
The "wassupwitdat" phrase heralds from SNL's funniest skit going right now, in which Kenan Thompson (more famously from the best Nickelodeon show ever Kenan & Kel) bursts out into hilarious song while celebrities pretend to be mad. If I were more tech savvy I might embed a video up in this bitch. Alas...
And now, time for a tangential mini-rant I just thought of!
Ahem.
Dear Jeopardy Players:
When the game has just begun, do not jump around the board looking for the Double Jeopardy. Especially do not do this if you only have $400 to your name. The best thing that can happen to you is betting and winning $1,000--raising your total to a whopping $1,400. However, if you bet and miss the question, you're suddenly $600 in the red. CONSIDER YOUR RISK AND POSSIBLE REWARD AND ACT ACCORDINGLY.
I understand many of you are "book smart," and therefore not always "street smart," but, really, Jeopardy strategy is child's play. Plus, it's just fucking annoying! I can't get into my category groove if you keep jumping from "Shakespeare's Heroines" to "Physics 101"!
One day, I will be on Jeopardy and show you all.
Aaaand with that, I'm out. I want to let you all know that I found a draft-blog from the good ol' days which was never posted. I'm going to finish and publish it! Oooooooh. So, pretty much I'm just like TuPac releasing music from the grave. Everybody get excited!
Still side-eyeing 2013,
